LLC to Sole Propietor

I have downsized from LLC back to Sole Proprietor. Now that I have, I am use
my own name, instead of a company name with no employees. Now I am having a
problem proving to my customers that I am paying my own S. S. taxes, other
than showing my tax returns, which I don't want to do. Does anyone have any
ideas on this?

I assume from your question that you are doing work for larger corporations
and/or government agencies, perhaps as an independent contractor. The
government and some corporations have strict requirements about the
businesses they can contract with. If they feel there is a possibility the
IRS could come back on them to collect taxes you failed to pay, they may
choose not to do business with you.

Did you file the paperwork to formally dissolve the LLC with your state or
county agency that registers businesses? Have you secured a DBA even though
you are using your full name for the business? Doing these things may help.
If all else fails, you may need to again register as an LLC.
